Darren Samuelsohn, Politico: Could Trump Be Impeached Shortly After He Takes Office?
It's highly improbable, but law scholars and political junkies are speculating about it.
Doonald Trump isn’t even the Republican nominee yet. But his incendiary rhetoric, most notably about killing the families of terrorists and bringing back torture, has critics on the right and the left discussing the most extreme of countermeasures at an unusually early point in the race.
“Impeachment” is already on the lips of pundits, newspaper editorials, constitutional scholars, and even a few members of Congress. From the right, Washington attorney Bruce Fein puts the odds at 50/50 that a President Trump commits impeachable offenses as president. Liberal Florida Rep. Alan Grayson says Trump’s insistence on building a wall at the U.S.-Mexico border, if concrete was poured despite Congress’s opposition, could lead down a path toward impeachment. Even the mainstream Republican head of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce recently tossed out the I-word when discussing the civilian backlash if Trump’s trade war with China led to higher prices on everyday items sold at WalMart and Target. On his radio show last month, Rush Limbaugh even put a very brisk timeline on it: “They’ll be talking impeachment on day two, after the first Trump executive order,” he said.

They're just panicking. See also: all the other NeverTrump maneuvers. It's so very uncoordinated and amateurish, it makes me think the real establishment is already ready for Trump and just letting those clowns act out without support or coordination.
If anything talk about early impeachment is a good deal less extreme than talk about a military coup!
What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
We need to impeach many congressman.
Barring that we need recall elections.
If there can be a recall election for governor Walker, then we can do 1 to 3 for each state until the cabal is broken.
We need to toss them out faster than they can suborn freshmen.
